Central European Bollywood Awards Winners

The Annual Central European Bollywood Awards (ACEBA) are fan awards with the voters mostly from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They are users of the Bollywood Forum belonging to the film website www.molodezhnaja.ch, organizer of the ACEBAs. The 2009 awards were a bit delayed because film fans in Central Europe usually cannot watch Hindi films when they first release… only very few of them are screened in the cinemas there, so they have to wait patiently for the DVD releases. Since 3 Idiots one of 2009’s most potential award winning films wasn’t released on DVD until pretty late, it was a matter of fairness for the organizers to wait until it was so that it had its chance to be watched by the voters.

So, now the votes have been tabulated and the results of the 7th Annual Central European Bollywood Awards are out. 3 Idiots actually turned out to be the big winner, bagging six ACEBA Awards including Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Script. Toughest competitor was Luck By Chance with five awards, including Best Actress.
